IDENTIFYING SMALL MOLECULES FOR PROTECTING CHONDROCYTE FUNCTION AND MATRIX INTEGRITY AFTER CONTROLLED COMPRESSIVE INJURY

Identifying small molecules for protecting chondrocyte function and matrix integrity after controlled compressive injury

Objective: Articular cartilage injury is central for the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).With few disease-modifying therapies successful at offsetting progressive osteoarthritis (OA), our goal is to use a high throughput screening platform 9002nc of cartilage injury to identify novel chondroprotective compounds.Targeting articul

The Nutritional Quality of the Culture Medium Influences the Survival of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts Co-Cultured with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Yeast-yeast interactions have been studied mainly using wine yeasts.However, studies are rare for native yeasts from agave juice fermentation.Therefore, this work used strains isolated from the alcoholic fermentation of agave to study the survival of non-Saccharomyces yeasts co-cultivated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in media of different nutritio

Cricket Inspired High Efficiency MEMS Speakers

We report on the realization of 9002nc a biomimetic MEMS speaker inspired by field crickets.This speaker is at least five times thinner and four times more efficient than the current dynamic speakers used in portable electronics.We present results of the acoustic characterization of a single MEMS speaker.Computational extrapolation of the results s
